[null and void]

I'm reminded of the Scientology condition of Liability:

The formula of Liability is:

1. Decide who are one’s friends.

2. Deliver an effective blow to the enemies of the group one has been pretending to be part of despite personal danger.

3. Make up the damage one has done by personal contribution far beyond the ordinary demands of a group member.

4. Apply for reentry to the group by asking the permission of each member of it to rejoin and rejoining only by majority permission. And if refused, repeating (2) and (3) and (4) until one is allowed to be a group member again.

Loads of Scientologists read #2 as requiring personal danger. It doesn't.

once out...why would anyone want back in to the religion that worships Xemu or Xenu or whatever?

my take on this cult is that it is EST with aliens...(or is EST, scientology without Aliens)

I do love the south park take on it called “Trapped in the Closet” (seems Tom Cruise wont come out...)
